@crhodes: "Anybody got any guesses? Any player that might stand out? I've been thinking
that Gibb's might go pretty conservative on offense. He's not wanting to
show his hand in pre-season (OK, they may not have much of the offense in
either). I am hoping the H Back has a big nightand that Chris Cooley has a
big game.

This is what I love about preseason. It gives players their moment in the
spotlight that might otherwise not get a chance to show their talents. I
know there's always the risk of injuries, but injuries and how teams adapt
to them are part of the game. Granted, nobody wants to see anyone get hurt
seriously, but the players know that injury is a risk factor in the game of
football. My guess is that there will likely be at least somebody that
sticks out for the Redskins, and probably for the Broncos too."

Fact: the Redskins do have some depth on the offensive line. Fact: Bugel
will get an adequate replacement for Jansen. Fact: Jansen was not the "best

I'll agree with you there. We still have four more exhibition games in
which to rack up crippling injuries. Now *that* prospect worries me.

I'm not big into predicting things. I may eventually predict how I think
teams will do during the regular season, but that won't be until the week
between the last preseason games and kickoff Thursday. But I was right about
how there would be players standing out in that game for each team: Quentin
Griffin and to a lesser extent Matt Mauck were both stand outs for the
Broncos and Sean Taylor was the primary standout for the Redskins. I was
impressed early with Tom Tupa in his Redskins debut, but was disappointed
later. However, that may have had more to do with the fairly high wind there
at Fawcett Stadium in Canton, OH, which at kickoff, was about 16 to 20 MPH
according to Al Michaels IIRC.
